What hinders you from good and better health? In this episode, host Michelle reveals thirteen common hindrances people face in achieving better health and how they can overcome them.

At our Warfare Wednesday service, Pastor Femi Paul led the church in a fiery session of prophetic intercession themed āHinderers & Hindrances.ā Drawing from Ecclesiastes 2:21 (NKJV), we were reminded of the grave injustice when a person labours with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, only to have their reward snatched away. This, the scripture declares, is āvanity and a great evil!ā But God's intention for His people is different. As declared in Ecclesiastes 2:24 (NKJV & TLB): āThere is nothing better than that a person should eat, drink, and enjoy the good of his labour ā for even this pleasure comes from the hand of God!ā We stood in prayer declaring that in this Month of May, no hinderer will frustrate our labour, and that by divine enablement, we will: Soar beyond limitations Win battles seen and unseen Accomplish what once seemed out of reach Achieve divine goals Prosper with the work of our hands Change levels and status in every area of life And with one voice, the church proclaimed: "Enable us, O God... in Jesus' name, AMEN!"

The Biblical Role of a Wife: Hindrances (Part 3 of 6) What is the biblical role of a wife in marriage? Listen as mature married couples share God's timeless design on the wife's role. In this third episode of a 6-part series, we discuss some common hindrances that prevent wives from fully supporting their husbands. Hope you are encouraged.
At our 5-hour prayer meeting, Overturn, Pastor Nelson shared a powerful charge on Hindrances to prayer:Ā 1. Selfish MotivesĀ ā Praying with self-centered desires places us at the center instead of God.Ā 2. UnbeliefĀ ā God gives freely, but we must ask in faith. The issue isn't His giving, but our receiving.Ā 3. Under-Praying / Spiritual WarfareĀ ā Like Elijah and Jesus, we must persist in prayer. Don't quit too soon.Ā 4. SinĀ ā God accepts the man before the sacrifice. Cain's offering lacked what Abel's hadāpurity. Don't come before God with strife or unrepentant sin.Prayer is not time wasted, but time invested.

Delson reads and explains sutta MN 2 All the Taints - This is how to handle and eliminate Hindrances to the meditation AND life.
There are hindrances to healing that keep us from receiving the wholeness God wants to give to us. We must keep in mind that it is always the will of God to hear us, and it is always the will of God to heal now. However, sometimes we harbor things in our heart that prevent us from being healed. Once we honestly search our hearts and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what is hindering our restoration, we can rest in the belief that He wants us to be whole and healed in all areas of our lives. (Matthew 8)
During this talk, Peter describes the development of Access Concentration, the quality of consciousness that is not affected by the Hindrances.Ā This is cultivated through developing the procedure of aiming/sustaining attention intentionally to develop stability and tranquility in the mind, preparing for the practicing vipassana, insight into the conditioned nature of the mind.

During this talk, Peter reviews the 5 Hindrances, which he describes as āenergy dumpsāāsetting them aside frees up energy for further development of the 7 Awakening Factors, creating more opportunities to liberate the mind from dukkha, the distress and confusion resulting from the action of the Hindrances. Here are the notes prepared for this talk:Ā [ā¦]
